.,Riitus Drum Porter, Third Dep

T.it 'itonunt-Colonol of the Twelfth
Regiment ami a veteran of tho Span
sh ir, was Indicted yesterday by
tlm Regular County Grand Jury. The
ch.irc' is that he neglected his duty as

of two patrolmen, vice '-alders.

DEEP CUT INTO INCOME
-Receiver AIm Told to Hear
Proposals on Renewal of
tlridire Service
Judge Julius M. Mayer of the United
States District Court ordered tho New
York Railways Company yesterday to
Initiate it legal ryht of its own against
the operation of competitive bu?cs by
the city. Mayor Hylan's buses have
been depriving crosstowu lines of the
New York Railways Company of up
ward of $.1.1,000 a month, although the
trolley franchises issued by th" city
pro ido lor exclusive tran.-'portati'.m
rights upon tlu-e streets.
K. L. Wlnthrop. Jr., of counsel for
Job K. Hodges, receiver of the New
York Itailwavs. exnlnined this sltua-
m'll I', IIUUI.U .lUI.'V,
dcelared that with only $6S0,601' now
on hand as a cash balance the com
pany Is worse off by $11(8,305 than its
pessimistic predictions of a month asro
forecast. The Fourteenth street,
Eighth street, Kighty-slx'.h street
crosstown lines and the .Seventh ave
nue and Brooklyn line are sutllciently
crippled financially without the in
roads made by the city buses, it wad
explained.
Whether the New York Railways will
follow the preeedent of the. Brooklyn
City Railroad in instituting Its anti-bus
tight in the Slate courts has not breii de
termined. The Brooklyn City's ease is
still pending in the Htate Supreme Court.
Papers and the necessary legal prelimi
naries, however, are to be prepared at
once and action taken without delay In
accordance with Judge Mayer's Instruc
tions. Nor Is the New Yoik Railways to
make any overtures to the city adminis
tration In connection with resumption
of trolley service over the Williams
burg Bridge. Judge Mayer specifically
Instructed Receiver Hedge yesterday to
listen to and present to the court any
propositions that the city may hae to
mako in this connection, but not to lake
tho Initiative. The New York Railways
until recently "operated surface lines
over the bridge under a contnietural
agreement with the city, but not under
franchise. Judgo Mayer pointed out, and
was obliged to pay heavy tolls to tho
ottv, whereas the city buses were al
lowed to use tho bridge without any
charge whatever.
The question of restoration of trolley
sen-ice over tho Wllllmnsburg Bridge Is
to be taken up again Monday at a hear
ing before Morgan T. Donnelly, Deputy
Public Service Commissioner.
Judgo Mayer's instructions to the
New York Railways were made In con
nection with the receiver's renewed peti
tion for instructions In connection with
payment of mortgage Interest charge on
the Lexington avenue and on the Co
lumbus and Ninth avenue lines. A
month ago the receiver Informed the
court that the financial situation made
payment of the charges unwise, and the
money troubles have grown vastly moro
acute meanwhile, chiefly hecausc of the
.snowstorm, the court was told. Tho
city buses have been still another bur
den, Mr. Stlmson said.
Payment of the mortgages was again
ordered deferred by Judge Mayer, who
set another hearing for April 13 to re
consider this obligation and tho com
pany's finances at that time.
Testimony of Public Service Commis
sion Investigators furnished yesterday
to Deputy Commissioner Edward J.
Olennon estimated that $6,623,000
should be spent by trolley lines in
Greater New York to bring equipment
up to a minimum standard of safety.
Tho New York Railways should expend
1,156.000 for repairs; tho Third ave
nue, 1. 010.000 ; the Union Railroad
Company, 5D97.000; tho H. R. T.. In
cluding lines of the Brooklyn City Rail
road, $1,691,000; tho New York and
Queens County Railway Company, $410,
000; tho Richmond Light and Railroad
Company. $323,000, and the -Staten
Island Midland Railway Company. $200,
000, according to the commission's fig
ures. LA GUARDIA AIDS HYLAN.
Calls for Mulit nn Stutrii Iilnnd
Trollry Situation.
Mayor Hylan's hope to Install city
owned trolley lines on Statcn Island Is
shared by F. II. ha. Guardla, Aldermanlc
President, as revealed yesterday when
the latter demanded polntblank In a
letter to Jacob Brenner, receiver of the
Midland Railway Company, a. complete
elucidation of Mr. Brenner's attitudo
toward the Hylan plan.
Mr. La Cuardiu accused the Richmond
Light and Power Company, owning the
Statcn Island lines, of deliberate and
"unpardonable'' action in removing all
rolling stock so that the company can
not possibly operate cars. And he de
clared further that most of the cars and
si loan of $300,000 were obtained during
tlip uar by the company from the Gov
ernment "on tb'i pretext of employees
workitar at the few shipyards In titaten
Island."
"That." Mr. La Guarda's letter went
on, "l:i a siibjeet' that can be taken up
at another time." He asked Mr. Bren
ner to reply at once as to whether he.
as receiver, will oppose the Mayor's
schemo for municipal trolleys. Mr. La
Guardla added that ho was not trying
"to pass tho buck," but wants tho infor
mation before, ths next meeting of tho
Board o Etlmt,

will come to trial b.-fore the general

Meanwhile, too, President Kbtrt and
the Gustav Bauer Ministry will continue
their functions of power, but it should
be emphasized, howeer, that their
power is not as real as is that of Ger
man labor.
Statements continue to emanate from
the Government that it Is not concerned
with tho conditions proposed by the
Kapl' revolutionists, and that there Is
no Government crisis, whereas it is, com
mon knowledge that tho Government
recognizes that It faces a new situation,
which can only be dealt with after a
thorough housecleanlng. .
It lSTCgarded .13 inevitable that Gus
tav Noske, against whom thp Socialists
are waging a bitter word war, will re
sign and the Ministry of defence turned
oer to a popular army officer, hut fur
ther Cabinet recbnstructlon presents a
problem of the gravest nature In so far
as the Government is concerned. There
vas an opportunity In tho last few days
to unite both wings of the Socialist
party throughout tho nation, but it was
not taken advantage of, nnd the result
was that the Independents, representing
the radical element In German Social
Ism, havo split into two factions, one
going still further to the Left.
Fnless Kbert Is ready to concede the
disarming of the Reicliswehr imperial

limitation to a nominal size, and the
drafting of labor for tho Citizens' Guard,

hold even his Majority wing following.
Huge Coit of Kni'P Adventure.
Everybody here Is aghast over the cost
of the Kapp adventure. No one will at
tempt to estimate the amount of dam
age that has been dnno as a result of
the general strike ordered by the Ebert
Government as a .'t fenslve measure
when it fled from Berlin last Saturday.
It is freely predicted, however, it will
take at least six months to, restore pro
duction to the point it had reached last
Saturday, when the general strike weapon
was ro effectively brought Into the fight
against militarism. Indeed, it Is held In
well Informed circles here that It may bo
several weeks before workers In the
Ruhr Basin and In mar.y Industrial cen
tres outside of tho Ruhr can bo disarmed
and led back to work.
On all sides is lieard condemnation of
t'ao terrible economic results which are
ctrtaln to follow the JCapp fiasco. Many
persons declare it will require months for
Germmy to regain the position to which
she advanced between tho time of tho

The petition of tho Duchess, which
is tho usual preliminary to divorco in

time between mother and father.
The magnificent Loudon house of
tho Duchess, which her father, Will
lam K. Vanderbilt. Sr., presented to
her. recently was rented for uso as
offices by the Lcaguo of Nations.
The institution of- a suit for the res
titution of conjugal rights generally is
the first sten in divorce proceedings,
Husband and wife aro called before a
Judge and an effort is mado to smooui
over pending difficulties. In case this
is found Impossible an action for di
vorce usually follows.
The Duchess of Marlborough was Con
Ruelo Vanderbilt, daughter of William
K. Vanderbilt, Sr.. of New York nnd the
present Mrs. O. H. P. -Belmont. Sho
was married to the Duko of Marlbor

SENATE REPORT
FAVORS COLBY
Confirmation Is Deferred to
Await Study of Testimony
Ueforc Committee.
Vpertal to The Sex .r Nr.w Yokk Hecald,
Washington, March 19. The Sen
ale Foreign Relations Committee re
ported favorably to-day on the nom
ination of Bainbrldgo Colby to ho Sec
retary of State. There were no votes
against the report, and members of
tho committee expressed tho opinion
that confirmation would follow, al
though probably not immediately be
cause of tho desire of the Senators to
familiarize themselves with tho testi
mony developed in tho recent hearings
before the committee.
Mr. Colby's statement to tho com
mittee yesterday was regarded as com
plete answer to all tho various in
timations and suggestions 'regarding
his alleged unfitness for tho office. As
to the statement by Herbert Parsons
or New York. Mr. Colby's answer was
a eompleto and circumstantial denial,
which tho committee accepted in view'
of the fact that upon neither side
could any documents bo produced.
Tho Republicans of the committee
wore disposed to report the nomination
In view of the fact that some of them
believed thero wore embarrassing It not
dangerous aspects Involved In continu
ing opposition to tho nomination. More
over all tho ptecedents In cases Involv
ing nominations of Cabinet members are
opposed to such u course.
-Tho vacancy in tho ofllco of Secretary
of State has resulted in tho piling up of
1,000 applications for passports anl has
caused a temporary letup In tho work
of tho Passport Bureau of the State
Department, which was experiencing the
busiest month In its history,
In the six year period from 1912 to
191S thla Government Issued on an
average of 29,000 passports a y,ear, and
beforo tho war the average never was
more 'than 23,000 annually. In January
12,000 passports were IssueJ and 11,000
In February. The thirteen days In
March during which passports could bo
Issued resulted In tho granting of 11,000
applications.
Tho rato of exchange, was given as
ono factor in the heavy travel toward
Europe. Natives of Europe who bad
mado tho United States their home for
several ytars were In a position now, It
was explained, to convert their savings
Into sums which In their native) coun
tries would inako them Independently

CHEAT VOTE A SUKPIUSE
Even if President Jfesuumil
Treaty It Wilt 13o Pigeon- '
holed by Committee.
fipeei.il to Tins Sen am New Yonc IIgsaui,
Washington, March lO.-Hy tho
vote of -If) ayes to 35 noes th Senate
at 0 o'clock this afternoon rejected
the resolution to ratify tho Gergian
peace treaty. The motion required a
two-thirds majority to carry ami
failed to receive It.
If -nil Senators had been In their
seats and otfni,' the veult woultl
hae been ayes' 57, 'noes l!9. As
sixty-four otcs were rcaulrcd. to
ratify the treaty, even this was seven
voles short of the necessary number
Senator Jlllcheock (Neb.), Hie act
ing Democratic leader, admitted utter
the Senate hail adjourned that the
treaty Is dead. He said he (lid not
anticipate that a further effort would
be made to reconsider, although he
admitted that the ruling by President
Pro Tem. Cummins, holding it Impos
sible, was at least of rather doubtful
validity. '
Immediately aflor the resolution or
rntilicatlon had been, defeated tho
Senate adopted a resolution instruct
ing Its secretary to return the treaty
to the President and notify lilm that
having failed to procure for It the
necessary vote, tho Senate did not
advise nnd consent to the ratlflca
.Hon. This carried, 47 to 37.
A few minutes later a motion to
reconsider the vote on ratification was
made by Senator Robinson (Ark.),
and Senator "Watson (ind.) immedi
ately moved to table It. To table this
motion would end possibility of recon
sideration, hut six "mild reservation
ists" ltepublicans voted with the
Democrats against tabling, and It
lost, ayes, i!4; noes, !!!.
Iuiposolhle to Itcconsldcr.
Fo'r a few minutes the parliamen
tary situation was chaotic. Then on
a point of order tho Chair (Senator
Cummins,, la.) ruled that the mo
tion to reconsider had been mado
too late and was therefore null, be
cause before It was made the Senate
had voted to send the treaty back to
the President. It therefore could not
now reconsider the ratiilcatlou vote.
Senator Lodge (Mass.), the Re
publican leader, said he had no ob
jection to taking another vote on
tho ratification of the treaty, und
thereupon asked unanimous consent
for It nt once. Senators Urandegeo
(Conn.) und Horah (Idaho) said
that several Senators had left the
chamber and one or two hnd left tho
city after the rejection of tho treaty
had been announced and they would
not agree to another vote unless, as
sured that every absent Senator was
paired. '
At this point Senator Norrls
(Xeb.) suggested the abwrnco of a
quorum. This wns n nmnrnuvcr to
gain time, which the opponents of tho
treaty needed to meet tho situation
that confronted them. They did not
want a seeoud vote Immediately, fear
ing a trick to ratify on the second
roll call because so many Senators
had left.
Another Attempt Folia.
The roll call having disclosed tho
presence of a quorum, Senator Robin- -son
presented his proposition In a
new form. . He moved that the Presi
dent be requested to return the treaty
to the Senate, coupling with it a mo
tion to reconsider the vote by which
it hnd been rejected.
Senator Curtis (Kan.) Immedi
ately jumped to his feet nnd mado a
point of order against this motion,
and the Senate was discusslug tho
question of order when Senator
Hitchcock held a hurried whis
pered conference with Senator Hohln
son. While Senator Curtis was still
on his feet Senator Itobinson with
drew his motion.
Senator Lodge at this point took
the Horn and yielded Immediately to
Senator Knox (Pu.), who called up
for consideration his resolution in-,
